Indian Summer,

Indian Summer. The sunlight in warm and mellow tide Upon this Indian summer day descends; Earth, sky, and all the view of waters wide In silent and harmonious beauty blends Still shows the emerald shade of summer time;
 With lingering pace a troop of zephyrs pass, And oft rereat verse of mystic rhyme. The vapor ships that slowly cross the sky June,
 And only trees that leaf1ess meet my eye Remind me earth has passed from Natures noon. k

beholds a government for the people one
and ala government for the rich and
the poor, for the white and the black
alike, and he hesitates not in his choice.
The second great cause is the record
made by the Democratic Administration,
which to-day is the exposition OF the
popular voice. The Southern negro sees
the National Administration placed upon
broad basis of national equality, Strict
Justice is done to all. The care of the
American citizen is the sole object and
aim of the Government. The Union
itself one and indivisible is the keynote
of the Administration. Race or color,
north or south, east or west, loose their
individuality and are moulded into har-
monious whole. The Nation and its citi-
zens, the country and its people,
are the watchwords of the Gov
ernment. The negro understands
that a practical application OF Demo
cratic principles is before his eyes, and
his appreciation thereof has been prompt
and effectual As the Nation advances,
so will the negro. Republicanism is
retrogression. The negro will advance
with Democracy and the Nation.

THE PLYMOUTH PULPIT.

A great deal is being said just now
about Beecher's successor in the pulpit
of the Plymouth Church. DIR. Parker,
of London, is mentioned prominently as
the new incumbent, and numerous OBJ
jections are being urged thereto through
the columns of the public press. This is
a very small matter-too small indeed
for continued mention, let alone pro-
longed public discussion. 1t makes not
a title of difference to the world who
fills the pulpit of the Plymouth Church.
With the death of Beecher that church
sunk to the ordinary church level, and
its pulpit is no more now than those of
thousands of other churches in the land.
1t was Beecher, and not Plymouth
Church or its pulpit that filled the
eye of the world. 1t makes no man
ner of difference henceforth, whether DR..
Parker or one Rev. John Smith speaks
from the Plymouth pulpit. Especially
is this true, as Beecher was not a
preacher in the accepted Christian sense
of the term. The pulpit of Plymouth
Church was simply the public rostrum
from which Beecher voiced his own
daring and advanced thoughts to the
people. Those thoughts were never
trammeled by religious traditions. Given
birth in the racesseS alone Of his
mighty intellect, they were free by
birthright, and were as boldly uttered as
they were daringly conceived. Religion
was to Beecher an ample cloak, masking
the artillery of intellect and ambushing
the advanced thoughts of the age. He
was known as the pastor of Plymouth
Church, but he was in reality the apostle
of world. To his hand was given the
rare task of lifting a corner OF the cur
tain of the future. His skepticism
was both bold and logical, and
the real cause of the quarrel of the re-
ligious world with Beecher is found in
the fact that he used his position in the
Temple for the purpose of shaking por-
tion of the foundations thereof Beecher's
occupancy of the Plymouth pulpit was
incidental. His work was universal.
The Plymouth pulpit will be filed, but
the Plymouth pulpit has been blazoned
for the last time upon the records of the
AGE

THE REASON.

In yesterdays DEMOCRAT, an editorial
referred to the movement now develop
ing in the Southern States, having for its
object the declaring for Democracy by the
negro race. This movement, even now,
embodies an accomplished fact, and the
popular party of the Nation will hereafter
be strengthened to invincibility by the
accession to its ranks of the millions of
colored freemen of the South. No fact
in the National politics of the day is
more significant than this. Nothing
shows more conclusively the power and
scope of that renewed grasp Democratic
principles has taken upon the people.
But few years ago to be negro was to
be Republican. Now, the colored race
is abandoning forever the Republican
party. Upon the echoes of the Republi-
can campaign cry "that the solid Demo-
cratic South is to be broken by the negro
vote" comes the announcement that the
negroes themselves are Democrats. The

progress, justice and equality, and the
death knell of Republican sectionalism
is tolled by the very people the Republi-
can party has arrogantly claimed as its
political goods and chattels. Two great
causes have brought about this result.
The first is the education of the
negro. As the mists of ignorance
rolled from his mind, the negro
has been endowed with clearer political
vision. He no longer beholds National
matters through the blurred Republican
spectacles which were forced upon him
as an indispensable part and parcel of
his birthright of freedom. He has learned
to reason. He recognizes cause and effect.
He sees on the one hand centralized
sectionalism-the despotism of political
power. On the other hand, he

A MEETING has been held in the
Cooper Union, New York, under the
auspices of the Irish National League. to
protest against the proposed coercion of
Ireland by the English Parliament.
Charles Dana, of the New York San,
acted as chairman of the meeting, and
over his name the following cable
gram was sent to Gladstone t:
"The citizens of New York in mass
meeting assembled, protesting against
coercion, heartily endorse your noble
policy, and wish you Godspeed in your
undertaking. Good for Dana. The cause
of Ireland is fast becoming that of the
world. The progress of democratic prin-
cratic principles is what is to wrest Ire
land from the tyranny of England.

ONLY BUSINESS.

AS the pring of 1887 advances in Salt
Lake, the more plainly can it be seen
that it is accompanied by the giant stride
of future progress. One of the best in
dications of this is the estimation in
which our city is held by the monied and
and the wise men of the East. In
all of the great American cities to-
ward the rising sun the eyes and
the thoughts of capitalists and readers OF
the signs of the times are turned in the
direction of Salt Lake. Here is to be the
great western city of the future, and
hitherward capital is irresistably i'm
PEELED. In Chicago. St. Louis, Omaha
and Kansas City men recognize that Salt
Lake is the present theatre of invest
mont. Situation, surrounding resources,
climate and the ever quickening
Western march of enterprise, and
immigration, all point alike and unerr-
ingly to metropolitan city on the shore
OF the great Salt Lake. American enter
prise never misses an opportunity, and
American capital never neglects an in
vestment. No lettered signboard is
needed to point the way to American
capital and enterprise. Business intui-
ton is National characteristic, and the
development of Salt Lake is simply and
purely business.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, March 81
Particulars OF the most horrible crime
in the criminal records of the State
have just come to light. Last Tues
day morning Tarleton Steele, colored,
murdered aud then buried his wife,
near Ada, in this county, about 2
O'Clock in the afternoon. They had
q quarrel and hot words led to blows.
Tarleton struck his vile on the hesd
with an sx handle, killing her in
stautly. He then took the body about
a mile off in the woods, threw it in a
gully, piled brush and STRAW on it, then
poured kerosene oil on the heap and
then struck FIRE to 1t. He then re-
turned home and left the body to be
cremated. The gentleman on whose
place he was living missed the woman
but eaid nothing about it and
the murderer remained on
the place day and night
after the crime was committed. Yes
ter1sy morning he went back to the
woods and fcupd that the body bad
not been entirely burned up. He
piled brush on the remains, but hsv-
ing no match to start tie fire he fed.
Suspicion had been aroused, and
neighbor5 searched the woods and
found portions OF the body. The muir
derer was found ten miles dis AIT, at
Mowdon last night, and brought to
this city and lodged in the county
Jail. Tonight he made a full COMES
sion of the terrible deed, and says he
burned the body to conceal the crime.

REV. A. w. LAMAR'S LEAVE.
A FAREWELL RECEPTION TEN
DEKED THE
Popular Pastor In tho Sunday
School Room or the Central Hap
list Char ch Last Night,

The Rev. A. w. Lamar, pastor Of
the Central Baptist Church, and fami-
" will leave Tuesday next for Omaha,
Neb. He has accepted a call to the
pastorate Of the First Baptist Church
there, the largest aud most Influential
in that section. The members OF the
Central Church rendered him and his
excellent family reception in the
Sunday school room OF the church last
night, and turned out in force to ex-
tend heartfelt good wishes for future
success and prosperity in his new
field. Music, refreshments and social
pleasures were the features OF the &C.
casion.
Mr.. Lamar, who is second cousin
Of Secretary OF the Interior L. Q
@. Lamsr, Of Mississippi, cane to
this city in October, 1882. His new
charge was in a crippled condition,
being heavily in debt, the ediAce I'M.
finished aud membership divided.
During his taitorate of little over
six years the building has been Gem
pleted, the indebtedness completely
liquidsted, the membership almost
doubled, all differences healed, and
handsome fund deposited in bank to
the credit OF the church. In this
the gifted young minister ha]
only sustained ths reputation
which preceded him to this city
OF being an abe, earnest and
tirele worker in the cause of Ch,is-
tianity. He is most emphstic in the
assertion that it has never been his
good fortune to be thrown with a con-
gregstion more faithful and energetic
than that OF the Central Church and S
people more sociable and good hear
ed than those Of Memphis. His career
here, while somewhat laborious, has
been in every respect pleasant, sup
ported as he was by every member Of
the church and his brethren generally.
AS an evidence of the glod fellowship
existing between pastor and peo-
pie, a check for $3.50 was
presented to him yester-
day. The Business Committee of
the church, numb ering fourteen men,
bers, and Mr.. Lamar were photo.
grsphed 10 q group few days ago, and
copy retained by each. la speaking
of the sOciable last night, the reverend
gentleman said: "This kind OF an
affair is rather unique. II generally
comes upon the Introduction OF new
minister, and when he leaves, the
members are go glad to get rid of him
that he is fortunate ii he is hidden
goodbye. It is something the memory
OF which will never depart"
Mr.. Lsmar's successor has not yet
been appointed aud possibly will not
before fall. The churS Is such an
one, and rSSujyas a psstcr
of such great ability sat the mem.
bers prefer to take sufficient time to
prevent any mistake. During the
Summer it is probable that tenn
porsry supply will be secured.
